" For none of these iniquities come of the Lord; for he doeth that which is good among the children of men; and he doeth nothing save it be plain unto the children of men; and he inviteth them all to come unto him and partake of his goodness; and he denieth none that come unto him, black and white, bond and free, male and female; and he remembereth the heathen; and all are alike unto God, both Jew and Gentile."
2 Nephi 30:8
"And it shall come to pass that the Lord God shall commence his work among all nations, kindreds, tongues, and people, to bring about the restoration of his people upon the earth."
President Dieter F. Uchtdorf of
the First Presidency:
“I hope that we welcome and love all of God’s children,
including those who might dress, look, speak, or just do things differently. It
is not good to make others feel as though they are deficient. Let us lift those
around us. Let us extend a welcoming hand. Let us bestow upon our brothers and
sisters in the Church a special measure of humanity, compassion, and charity so
that they feel, at long last, they have finally found home. …
“It seems only right
and proper that we extend to others that which we so earnestly desire for
ourselves.
“I am not suggesting
that we accept sin or overlook evil, in our personal life or in the world.
Nevertheless, in our zeal, we sometimes confuse sin with sinner, and we condemn
too quickly and with too little compassion. …
“… Let our hearts
and hands be stretched out in compassion toward others, for everyone is walking
his or her own difficult path” (“You Are My Hands,” Ensign, May 2010, 68–69).
Consider what YOU might do to reach out to others in need and help them feel
the love of the Lord.
2 Nephi 30:2
"For behold, I say unto you that as many of the Gentiles as will repent are the covenant people of the Lord; and as many of the Jews as will not repent shall be cast off;for the Lord covenanteth with none save it be with them that repent and believe in his Son, who is the Holy One of Israel."
Who are the covenant
people?
What is it that we must do to become the covenant people of God? You could earn up to 20 points by telling me how this Mormon Message reflects this important doctrine and how it applies to us.
